It is not an ordinary site, by Klaus Morlock. Not only because it is in the schedule and Budget, but because it brings together three worlds that usually have little in common: Boxing matches, car garage, tourism.
The Boxing matches belong to the legendary town hall, which was built in 1906 in the middle of the circle 4, 1400 people bot, and in architectural circles was the talk of the made, because the envelope did without the Support.
in 1949, was converted the hall to a one car garage, middle of the year, Switzerland tourism feeds. The former Stadthalle at the Stauffacher bridge in the headquarters of the national tourism marketing organisation, which is supervised by the Federal government.
feeling for the story
The Canton of Thurgau real estate company, Hess Investment has acquired the building in December of 2016 and it will be when it’s done and rebuilt, Switzerland, tourism, rent or lease. Klaus Morlock is the Director of the Hess Investment group.
It was the Grandfather of the siblings Eser, who built the legendary city hall. At the time of the change in ownership of the 74-year-old courtship Eser stated, at that time of day indicator.ch/Newsnet that it is not sold to the highest bidder: “We were looking for a buyer that has a sense of the history of this house.”
Garage is not denied
The eyes glow on the construction site, it can be concluded that the expectation of the family Eser is met. The international Team of Burkhalter Sumi architects, has set itself the goal to not make the hall experience, and to deny the Garage and still a functioning office building.
The left between floors, which formed the Garage, and the carriers partly. They form a support structure for the offices and meeting rooms. In two Places, culverts were dancing to the Oblichtern, so that the height of the former hall is to be experienced and small halos.
Tremola, Porta Alpina, Neat
The stage and the ceiling will be variously re-viewed, so that it is easily possible to refer to old photos in the room and suspecting the town hall.
A serpentine-shaped ramp, suitable for future tenants of the “Tremola” is called, leads up between Bühenraum and support structure, and sets the scene. A free-standing Lift – “Porta Alpina” – connects the floors. A golden shiny tube – the “Neat” – leads from the morgarten road to the reception.
paintings from two eras
In all the will-o-the slightly rustic, old paintings of the town hall. They were laid out in consultation with the monument conservation-free and conserved, but not restored, with the exception of the zigzag pattern at the stage arch, the history is clear.
restoration was not waived, because there are paintings from two periods: Floral patterns and coats of arms were installed during the construction of the city hall in 1906 to 1935 abstract ornaments, including the above-mentioned zigzag pattern.
Original as in the Original
On the side on Morgartenstrasse, there was a major intervention in the facade. As originally a part of the Building was planted with a chair in the warehouse, there could be no Windows inserted. The symmetry of blind Windows for the sake of the inside recessed. Because on the opposite side opened, and the spirit of the time accordingly, large arched Windows to the courtyard.
This window could not be opened dummies now, since the attached building. This not only brings more light into the house, it also conforms to the original plans. The new building is in one respect today, than the Original. (Tages-Anzeiger)
